ABOUT THE BOOK
— poetry has wings so potent that, when fluttered, taunt the blissful loneliness of a poet’s soul — the creative process thus stirred, the poet then longs for the sublime company of solitude in order to deal with the momentary blissful insanity — an ordinary mind hardly comprehends and for that — the poet remains isolated — a misunderstood soul —
ABOUT THE PAINTER & AUTHOR
Made to choose as a child between a pretty dress and a box of crayons as a gift from her parents, Celeste Zeta-Montalban would always settle for the latter. Painting and writing are at the center of her soul and the focus of her creativity. Celeste also has a Masters degree in Psychology and has been a lecturer in The University of Science and Technology in Nigeria. She was also a contributing feature writer for the Nigerian Tide, a major newspaper in Port Harcourt, Nigeria.
Settling eventually in the USA, Celeste continued to paint and exhibit. She has participated in the Asian-American exhibit in San Francisco and has also written two books of short stories and several books of poetry.
SELF EXECUTIONER is a combination of her poetry and paintngs.
